We are headed back to Ohio Dreams this Saturday to finish up the Finals one more time in the Battle for Midwest BMX! I have been all over the place lately and my time has been limited with keeping up on everything. I will have the series points updated very soon! See you all Saturday in at Ohio Dreams!

The 2017 Midwest BMX Season doesn’t stop after the Battle Series takes a summer break. We move on to support a fellow rider who took an incredible crash six months ago and remains in recovery. We will gather in South Bend, Indiana for help raise some $$’s for Scotty to help defray some of those outlandish hospital bills. Come on out and support Scotty Cranmer and all the riders at the 6th Annual Kitchen PRO/AM. #STANDWITHSCOTTY – FACEBOOK EVENT HERE
This years Battle Series Contest is coming to a head once again as we get geared up to take over Ohio Dreams Action Sports Camp for the Finals on April 8, 2017. This day is significant to me as it will be my 43 birthday, and I couldn’t imagine spending it with anyone else other than BMX Family! This year has been nothing short of amazing riding by the over 140 entrants. The Series Battle in all 3 of the points paying classes is up for grabs as we have some tight ones, keeping in mind that the winners from these 3 classes will receive a free week of Camp compliments of the fine folks over at Ohio Dreams!

The Battle for Midwest BMX and The 4th Annual Kitchen Pro/Am+Girls Classes are in one weeks time! The 1st two stops have been amazing thus far in the battle for amateur supremacy. The Kitchen BMX & Skatepark in South Bend is a very special to me personally as it is my favorite BMX Riders very own park. I am talking about Brett Banasiewicz, the man, the myth the kid who killed contests all over this fine planet of ours year after year.
Here is the video from the 1st stop in Cleveland, Ohio! Stop #2 is in Fort Wayne, Indiana at the Fort Wayne Indoor BMX & Skate Park February 14th. Bring your Valentine to Fort Wayne for some BMX Action! Thank You to all of the sponsors and people who helped make this happen. I hope to see everyone at the next 3 stops as we shred though this winter season!
Judges:
Steve Questa – Nick Bruce – Scott Yoquelet – Karl Poynter – Andy Sizemore
